Analgesia efficacy of erector spinae plane block in laparoscopic abdominal surgeries

Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) effectively reduces postoperative opioid consumption, intraoperative opioid consumption, nausea, vomiting, and pain scores in laparoscopic abdominal surgeries. Subgroup analysis on laparoscopic colorectal surgeries further supports these findings. The study concludes that ESPB is a valuable technique for optimizing pain control, minimizing opioid requirements, and potentially promoting faster postoperative recovery.
